Boris Johnson STILL hopeful UK WILL get trade a deal with US

BULLISH Boris Johnson remained defiant today that a US free-trade deal "was still there to be done" despite Joe Biden sinking hopes of an agreement any time soon.

The PM admitted there was no chance of inking a fast and comprehensive deal with Washington but he would instead try salvaging small gains to help UK sellers.

An audience at the White House last night failed to kick-start stalled talks over trans-Atlantic trade.

Putting a brave face on the disappointment, Mr Johnson said: "What we're wanting to do is make solid incremental steps on trade.

"The Biden administration is not doing free trade deals around the world right now but I have absolutely every confidence that a great deal is there to be done."

Gesturing at the US Capitol which he visited today, the PM added: "And there's plenty of people in that building behind me who certainly want to do one."

He hailed a breakthrough in lifting America's ban on British lamb that will allow Welsh farmers to sell across the pond.

After yesterday's efforts to grease the wheels on a free-trade deal failed Mr Johnson eyed joining the existing trading alliance between the US, Canada and Mexico.

Trade Deal:
I receive: nothing
You receive: juicy cuts of Welsh lamb

[LZE.]

20 years of fighting their war and a trade deal is too much to ask, really!

[yc-tai]

After all that talk, err ... no US trade deal

[champchamp]

Fairplay boris is the typical kill them with kindness type of fella . Im sure boris will tell biden to sign his freinds birthday card only to actually be the biggest deal in history contract 🙄

[WOKETUBE-SUX]

You can always tell easily when he is lying.

[ljo]

It's his fault that one didn't take place when there was the opportunity with President Trump.

[ivermektin]

If Biden wakes up maybe we'll have a chance.

[graffalolife]

I don't want chlorine chicken and hormone beef

[keithmarch]

Juicy cuts of Welsh lamb. Take a look around you mate.Lamb's not really the answer now is it

[blairrobert]

Get him and all the little Eng lander toffs out. People are going to really struggle this winter thanks to poor governance from the Conservatives. You cant trust the Tories with your money. OUT.

[stevenhoward]

I thought he went to America, but clearly he checked into cloud cuckoo land. He will be begging Biden to send us chlorine chicken in time for Christmas.

I think most brits dont want a trade deal with the states. we have traded fine with them without one and have a surplus so why make it something that doesnt need to be

[SEOdev]

We probably will in about 3.5 years from now.

[jasonvaldivia]

we must make sure he isnt selling off our NHS !!

[detectivethinker]

Would expect more likes than dislikes! The USA is our ally, not rival.

[simonvinyl]

Im no trumper but didn't he say we'd be top of the list

[chickenfooker]

The thing about tory voters is that more and more of these old folk are passing away each day. Johnson helped to accelerate this.

[indigoskyfall]

You screwed that up when you joined the global bid to get rid of trump….you should have spoke out instead of being owned by klaus and his new world, when he comes back, you’ll be gone boris…

[ebr]

Yawn.
Who cares?
Concentrate on mending fences with China and Russia.
The trade agreement with the Pacific countries will suffice for now.
